In outdoor sports golf is the
"hole" thing.
Diamonds are the most effective
stepping "stones" to matrimony.
Some people never wear a smile
unless it is ordered by parcel post.
Do pantaloons, with holes in their
basement story, come under the head
of hardwear?
There is a whole lot of law wrap
ped up in a sheep's skin, when it is
bound around a legal book.
Women will always keep in the
front as long as they have dresses
and shirtwaists that hook up the
back.
The onion needs no introduction
into society. It is imbued with the
scents of its own importance, and
makes it known.
You may lose all your money,
You may lose all your friends;
But when you lose your spirits,
'Tis there all your hope ends.
It stands to reason that when there
is much rain, and the streets are full
of water, people would wear pumps.
But they do not all do it.
The use of cosmetics is said to be
very old. Perhaps that is so, and is
in some way connected with the
thoughts of those who use them.
The Times-Union, of Jacksonville,
Fla., asks this impertinent question:
"What is a dollar?" It is something
that will make you laugh when you
see it.
The Atlanta Journal says that "a
woman either poses, supposes, or im
poses." True. And we have noticed
that she also composes many a man
who opposes.
Some levity's indeed too light;
Some gravity too deep to quaff;
But you will have it nearer right,
If you'll mix 'em 'bout half and
half.
The season's hobble skirts are to
be even tighter than ever before, the
notes of fashion etll us. It will be
a sad calamity when they begin to
bag at the knee.
We are told that over in Switzer
land the lakes continue to disappear
in the Tyrol. It is to be hoped that
there are no American souvenir hunt
ers over there picking them up.
The Wilmington Star is of the
opinion that "the best way to serve
the public is to make the public's
burden lighter." It will take live
wires to do this and electrify the
burdens.
Many of the rural schools of this
age are going extensively into school
gardening. They have been teaching
the branches for a long time, but this
is a practical way to go to the roots
of things.
The Wilmington Dispatch says that
"When a young girl marries an old
man that is a Miss-mate." And when
a young man marries a lovely young
girl that is a Miss-take. But it is;
and it isn't.
A leading Chicago milliner says the
niftiest kind of a spring hat can be
"built" for fifty-nine cents. Man!
Married man! Give you wife a dol
lar bill right away before spring
passes into summer.
"This is the age of the woman,"
says an exchange. And the Green
ville Piedmont adds this comment:
"Please tell us what it is then."
Whimage; but on the other hand,
dear brother, you are just placing
yourself in a position to fine out her
rage.
They now want to take "e" out of
money. So far as we are concerned,
knock it out. It never made money
any "e"sier to get, so we do not know
that it makes much difference, and
will not put such a bad "spell" on
us after all,
A paper is published in the Fed
eral prison in Atlanta, and the Wil
mington Dispatch wants to know:
"How's that for freedom of the
press?" It's fine. The angry read
ers are de-barred from getting to
the editor and threatening to mob
him. He is safe on his base.
Women's smoking gowns are on
exhibiton in New York. Just so. The
woman suffragette is coming on with
smoking to back her. We presume
she's smoking tobacco. For forty
years, or more, the bright belt of the
weed growing Industry has produced
golden wrappers that are the admira
tion of men of tobacco judgment, and
always commanded fabulous prices.
But the new smoking wrapper is
puffed up about the sleeves and hooks
up the back just the same.
Blossom time joy time sing it
from the city to the wood;
Flower time My! its splendid ev
erybody feelin' good;
The azure sky a bendin' down to kiss
the laughing hills,
A J I 1 t m
aiiu up ana aown a teiiow s spine
there's a stream of happy thTills;
Blossom time and loving time
hearts merry everywhere;
And Miss Spring throwing kisses,
with pink roses in her hair!
Limit the Speed.
"It might be said that for the kill
ing of the young woman by an auto
mobile, Wednesday, the city of
Charlotte is directly responsible. The
long continued official disregard of
the enforcement of the speed laws
has been the cause of daily placing
the lives of the people of the city in
jeopardy. Automobiles have been
speeded to the capacity not only on
the boulevard, but on the business
and residential streets, without any
sort of restraint That Wednes
day's fatality is the first one can be
attributed merely to the kindness of
the fates. In this case it is of no
consequence to the victim for us to
lament the lack of protection by the
law, but the affair should serve to
warn the city of the menace of the
speeding auto-mobile. Behold the
cost of the indifference to the viola
tions of the ,speed laws!" Char
lotte Observer.
"The same trouble seems to exist
n every town. Most of the people
who run automobiles want to run
fast and they grow careless; and by
common consent it seems to be the
custom in most towns to treat the
speed regulations as a dead letter.
They are not enforced in Statesville,
and the criticism does not apply to
the present administration alone, for
they never have been enforced here.
That nobody has been hurt may be
attributed to the interposition of
Providence! Some of these days
somebody may be hurt or killed;
then will come the reaction and the
demand for enforcement of speed
regulations, when it is too late.
When the trouble comes it can be
said, as the Observer says of Char
lotte, that 'official disregard of the
enforcement of the speed laws will
be responsible.' P. S. Since the
Charlotte tragedy Statesville's may
or has gone after the automobile
speeders." Statesville Landmark.
It would be well for the mayors
of all the towns in the State to fol
low the example of Statesville's may
or and not wait until somebody else
is killed.
"Does he belong to the. 400?
"Yes, indeed; he's one ol the ciph
ers!" New York Mail.
